## Photo Journal v2.2

Hi everyone! I’ve been working hard to simplify my [Photo Journal app that I shared a little while ago as a WDC](https://community.thunkable.com/t/wdc-15-show-thunkable/1283467/11).

I think a video probably demonstrates it best so here you go:

**What’s changed?**

A lot. I switched from Firebase to a local DB (database) for storage. It’s much, much faster now and it should even work offline. I’ve also cleaned up the interface and tried to make it look a little more professional. I’ve also reduced the number of blocks significantly and changed the app from about eight screens to just two main screens and a couple auxiliary ones.

There’s no longer a sign-in feature but since everything is stored locally, there’s not much need for that. It’s a single-user app for now.

**Can I beta test it?**

Thanks for asking! Yes, I do need people to help test it. If you’re interested, drop me a private message and I’ll add you to Test Flight or share the .apk with you.

**Is it just called “Photo Journal” or does it have a better name?**

Thanks for asking! I know, I know, that’s not much of a name. I’m hesitant to tell you what I named the app because… it’s so bad. “Memages.” Like memories+images. Bad, right? 😖

This is an app looking for a name so if you have any ideas, please share them with me!

**What else are you going to add to the app?**

I’m thinking about themes (light, dark, graphic backgrounds) and the ability to backup your data to the cloud. There are similar apps that allow you to select a mood symbol for each day and I’m on the fence about whether or not I want to include that. But I’m open to suggestions. 🙂
